* With the ending of ''Central Fiction'' and all the pieces finally put together comes a realization - '''the entire plot of ''[=BlazBlue=]'' is a Greek-level tragedy'''. And it all leads back to Amaterasu and an event called the Prime Field War. A long time ago, before the events of the series began, there was an original timeline. In that timeline, humanity was experimenting in order to find a way into the Boundary - the source of all information and all that exists, essentially "the realm of the gods". One day, they made a discovery that would change the course of history forever - the Susano'o unit. They used Susano'o's inherent link to Amaterasu in order to locate it within the Boundary. Desiring Amaterasu's power but unable to enter the boundary themselves or even with their own machinery, humanity decided to create a series of [[ArtificialHuman artificial humans]], which they dubbed "Boundary Interface Prime Field Devices". The first, a girl who would later become referred to as The Origin, succeeded in touching the Amaterasu Unit. In doing so, she not only gained the Eye of the Azure, but also grew a soul. And as she became sentient, so too did her fellow Prime Fields. Sounds great, right? '''WRONG.''' In their arrogance, the humans who created her and her siblings grew jealous of their newfound RealityWarper powers. Angry that mere "puppets", something of ''their'' own creation, could obtain the power of a god and dare to upstage them, they decided to betray the Prime Fields by imprisoning them in the Boundary. Fearful of the sudden threat that Prime Fields posed to them, the humans decided to kill them all, starting the Prime Field War. All the Prime Fields ever wanted was to live normal lives, but humanity refused and in the end, the world was destroyed when the first Black Beast was created. After the world was destroyed, The Origin remade it based on her own memories, but was still imprisoned in the Boundary. And so, she created "the dream that God observes", AKA the Central Fiction - Ragna the Bloodedge, a man whose fate has already been predetermined - to rescue her from her prison. Whenever Ragna did not come for her, she would just keep resetting everything in hopes that the events would change somehow. Over and over again, she did not get the reslts she wanted, even as more pieces of her soul became manifested in the new world as other Prime Fields such as Noel, Lambda, and Nu. At some point, she even fell into despair and her suicidal thoughts became manifested in the form of Izanami, wanting the entire world to disappear. '''Finally''', only after Susano'o's will is destroyed, is she able to meet Ragna at long last, who decides not to take her out of the Boundary but instead to stay with her, granting her soul peace. If Ragna's life is Hell, then the Origin's is the 9th circle.

* The Murakumo units (Noel/Mu-12, Nu-13, and Lambda-11) are all tragic characters by their very nature, as they are [[ArtificialHuman artificial clones]] of Ragna's sister Saya who have been subjected to horrific torture and experimentation by their creators. Throughout the series, their creators have been shown time and time again to be [[MadScientist heartless]] [[{{Jerkass}} jerks]] who don't treat them as people and only see them as merely machines, tools to be used for their own purposes and discarded when no longer necessary. No matter how many times they beg for their creators to stop hurting them, their pleas fall on deaf ears as their hellish suffering continues, and they ultimately end up either being driven too insane or too broken mentally by their torture to function anymore. Mind you, this has happened ''13 times'', once for each new Murakumo unit.

Mind you, this has happened ''13 ''at least 13 times'', once for each new Murakumo unit. And for those that could not function to begin with? They get jammed into caskets and used as catalysts for cauldron activity, as Makoto discovered during her visit to Ibukido.
